Microneedling
Revitalize your skin with microneedling, or collagen induction therapy. Microneedling uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production by making controlled microinjuries to help with fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks. It also allows topically applied products to absorb better. Microneedling can also be preformed with PRF to enhance results.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling (aka collagen-induction therapy) is a skin rejuvenation treatment that penetrates the skin’s surface with tiny needles to create microinjuries, which spurs new collagen growth. Controlled injuries trigger a wound-healing response that kick-starts natural cellular regeneration.
What are the benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling has a host of benefits, from improving sun damage to minimizing acne scars. More specifically, it can help:
-
smooth lines and wrinkles
-
even skin tone
-
minimize large pores
-
subtly firm the skin
-
fade stretch marks and scars, including acne scars
-
allow topically applied ingredients to absorb better
How long does it take to see results?
The full results of microneedling will take 4-6 weeks as new collagen is produced. 1-3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart are recommended based on specific needs.
What are the side effects and downtime for Microneedling?
There are a few temporary side effects to be aware of with microneedling. The procedure causes short-term swelling, redness, and skin flaking, which can last for a few days.
